Xenomacy
For our Game Design module, our group was tasked to design a board game with the theme "First Contact". The team decided to design a card-based role playing game, where players have to improvise a speech about how they would be the best choice for becoming the new Emperor of the Galaxy. Speeches may go from very wholesome topics, to very gruesome ones (example here).
The original prototype and rulebook were a lot simpler than what is shown on my portfolio, as I attempted to give our game a proper identity and style.
